Hi!
I'm planning to hire a person to make a POS program, but I'm unsure of which language I should choose.

I've talk to two people, the first recommended VB6, and the second one recommended VB.NET.

I don't have any knowledge of programming languages, but my first thought was to go for C++ or C#/.NET

I'm afraid that if I get one of these programmers to do this in VB6 or VB.NET, I would go for a programming language that's a little old, and not very nice for the future. Since this will be a desktop application and will be updated on a regular basis, for many years.

As stated earlier, I don't have any experience with this, so any thoughts will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
